 Reid assisted India in achieving a podium finish in the Olympics, but the administration chose to focus on Reid rather of dealing with the underlying problems, which range from the absence of a grassroots programme to the absence of a professional league.

Shah Rukh Khan's portrayal of a struggling actor who refuses to buy into the narrative of hatred but nevertheless responding to his detractors shines through in Pathaan. Shah Rukh Khan and another superstar of his era—call let's him Bhaijaan—accept their advancing years in Pathaan, which is arguably the most meta film Shah Rukh Khan has ever made. Both of them are aware that 30 years is plenty time to leave a lasting legacy, despite their soreness and aches. They have also swapped a strip of pills. They dismiss one possible heir after another with the thought, "Who next?" We, the audience, are grinning broadly yet swaying uncomfortably in our chairs. That exact same conversation has taken place in our homes, on Twitter, and occasionally on newspaper pages. We have finished writing their obituaries, approved of our professional eulogies, and acknowledged the end of the superstar period. They are the last of a rapidly extinct breed, and their time is running out. Tick, ...

 Google has expressed concern that an antitrust ruling last year by the Indian antitrust watchdog over the American company's hegemony in the nation may cause the adoption of Android to stagnate there. The Competition Commission of India (CCI), which issued the ruling in September, determined that Google had exploited its dominant position in the market for mobile operating systems by putting cellphone makers under restrictive contracts. By changing its agreements with manufacturers, Google was required by the CCI to give them more latitude to instal competing apps and services on Android devices. Google reportedly appealed the ruling to India's Supreme Court and said that it would have to modify some of its current contracts and enter into new licence arrangements. In a Supreme Court appeal, the US business said that an antitrust ruling requiring the corporation to alter how it markets the platform is about to put the expansion of Google's Android ecosystem in India on the...
